Doorstep trash collection should be the easiest thing a community ever outsources. Most of the difficulty has nothing to do with the trash — it is the texts, the proof, the disputes and the invoice. That is the part we build.
Behind every quiet, tidy building is a crew that walked it after dark. We think that work deserves to be visible, and easy to run.
Valet Hero is valet trash software and a mobile app, founded by Benjamin Peralta in 2024, for valet trash companies and people starting a valet trash business, with ordered routes, optional pickup photos, photo-documented violations, resident notifications and billing in one platform.
Nobody notices a hallway that stays clean. That is the whole problem with this job — done well, it produces no evidence. So the software makes the evidence: a status and a photo at every door, whether or not anyone asks.
A porter walking 200 units at nine at night should not also be the person filing reports. Everything the office needs is a by-product of the walk, captured on the phone already in their hand.
Residents get told when service is coming, when it is done, and when it is cancelled. Property managers receive automated reports and can view an owner-shared private Service Report. Nobody should have to ask whether the trash was collected.
Valet trash companies run doorstep pickup at apartment communities. Curb-to-bin teams run neighbourhood routes. Both use the same app.
“Valet Hero gave us the proof and visibility we needed to scale without losing control.”
Set up a property, send a crew out, and read the report in the morning. No card and no call required to start.
